[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 205655, member: 1136"]Yeah, the cost to reupholster the couch much over weighs any as-is value. I see it ALL the time. I work with a company who prices furniture with less than desirable fabric and would take a pro to reupholster on the higher end hoping a designer will come in and buy it. Ive never seen it happen. It usually ends up selling for $10 or $12 at auction. If you sand the desk down and paint it I could see it bringing around $200. As is, maybe around $30[/QUOTE]
